dotnet-bump-version

A dotnet-cli command that bumps the version number of the current project. This is useful when working with multiple .NET Core projects placed in different solutions, referencing each other as NuGet packages. Use this command before dotnet pack to increment a specific part of the version number in project.json before pushing your project to your local NuGet feed. This ensures that NuGet will not fetch the package from cache, and all your .NET Core projects in different solutions can reference the latest compiled version.

Older versions

Add dotnet bump as a tool to your project by including the following into your .csproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="dotnet-bump-2" Version="1.2.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Run dotnet restore to fetch bump-version binaries, after that you may use dotnet bump-version command to maintain version.

The command will increment a part of the version number of your .csproj according to the argument passed to it (major, minor, patch or revision). When this argument is ommited, the revision number is bumped. You may specify path to .csproj on the command line as nameless argument or rely on automatic discovery which would look for first .csproj file in the current directory.
